The result is that while the user experience may be good (in many cases, 
but not all), the corresponding "coding experience" suffers badly. Given 
the kind of eco-system Eclipse has with lots and lots of people coding 
against the Eclipse APIs, it seems strange that the priorities aren't 
different.

Programming against the Eclipse APIs should be *fun*, not full of the 
frustration which I often find it to be.
